外出用のキーボードが欲しくて Cornix に目をつけていたのですが、moNa2 を見つけてしまいました。が、バッテリー付きでの販売なのでたぶん日本じゃないと買えない & 需要過多で日本でも買えないようです

5yo: “Do I have a toonie?” They want to donate the money to Terry Fox🫶 They even want to do house choirs so they can donate more in the future😭 Impressive! Have I thought like this when I was 5!? Then they continued, “And when I get bigger, I will buy a net and catch a fish and feed it to eagles.”

😨 “Some energy is wasted at nearly every exchange through imperfect insulation materials and long cables in between racks of servers, and many buildings use millions of gallons of water (often fresh, potable water) per day in their cooling operations.”

One of the most amazing feedback I've seen with my employer, formerly Recollect, was from a blind senior resident who appreciated the recycle day reminders with auto-scheduled phone calls. Neither app notification, email, nor SMS wouldn't work for such people.

ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed. No one knows why he was detained.

It’s been more than three years since I started hosting the book club. The ninth season starts this week with “Good Services: How to design services that work” by Louise Downe. I am excited to learn about what makes the service helpful through this book!

これで思い出したけど、”正直さ” を評価対象にしたであろう面接を過去にしたことを思い出した。第N面接に出されて2,30分の枠で対面で解いた課題を第N+1面接で異なる interviewer から出題されるというもの。すぐに指摘をしたのに相手に躊躇した様子が見当たらず違和感を感じてたけど、後に腑に落ちた。技術スキルは入社してから教えられるけど ”正直さ” は教えられないので良い手法だなと。

I'm thrilled to launch a crowdfunding campaign to bring to life the Japanese language edition of my children's book, "MY LOST FREEDOM." This picture book shares my experiences in U.S. concentration camps during WWII, a story I believe will resonate with my friends in Japan.

Can we just admit that we NEED immigrants for our economy to run, from agriculture to high tech? We’re a goddamn nation of immigrants, aren’t we? Let’s be proud of our immigrant heritage!
